Background: migration control and work regulations

Undocumented immigrants have been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the official and informal sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing increase of un-regulated migration, lots of concerned about how this would impact the economy and, at the exact same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to control and deter illegal immigration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out brand-new work guidelines that imposed company sanctions, criminal and civil charges “against companies who intentionally [worked with] prohibited workers”. [8] Prior to this reform, companies were not needed to validate the identity and employment authorization of their employees; for the very first time, this reform “made it a criminal offense for undocumented immigrants to work” in the United States. [9]

The Employment Eligibility Verification file (I-9) was required to be utilized by employers to “verify the identity and work authorization of individuals employed for employment in the United States”. [10] While this kind is not to be submitted unless requested by government officials, it is needed that all employers have an I-9 form from each of their workers, which they should be keep for three years after day of hire or one year after work is ended. [11]

I-9 certifying citizenship or immigration statuses

– A resident of the United States.
– A noncitizen national of the United States.
– A legal long-term resident.
– An alien licensed to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the staff member should supply an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, in addition to the expiration day of the short-term employment permission. Thus, as developed by kind I-9, the EAD card is a document which functions as both an identification and confirmation of employment eligibility. [10]

Concurrently, employment the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limits on legal migration to the United States,” […] “recognized brand-new nonimmigrant admission categories,” and revised appropriate premises for deportation. Most notably, it brought to light the “authorized short-term protected status” for aliens of designated nations. [7]

Through the revision and production of new classes of nonimmigrants, gotten approved for admission and employment momentary working status, employment both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 provided legislation for the policy of work of noncitizen.

The 9/11 attacks brought to the surface area the weak aspect of the immigration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States heightened its concentrate on interior support of migration laws to minimize prohibited migration and to determine and get rid of criminal aliens. [12]

Temporary worker: Alien Authorized to Work

Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without lawful status. When these individuals get approved for some kind of relief from deportation, people might receive some type of legal status. In this case, temporarily safeguarded noncitizens are those who are granted “the right to stay in the nation and work throughout a designated period”. Thus, this is sort of an “in-between status” that supplies individuals short-term work and short-term remedy for deportation, however it does not lead to irreversible residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, an Employment Authorization Document ought to not be confused with a legalization document and it is neither U.S. long-term resident status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is given, as mentioned previously, to eligible noncitizens as part of a reform or law that provides people short-term legal status

Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for employment a Work Authorization Document)

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, people are offered remedy for deportation as temporary refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are given safeguarded status if found that “conditions because country present a threat to personal security due to ongoing armed dispute or an ecological catastrophe”. This status is given normally for 6 to 18 month durations, eligible for renewal unless the individual’s Temporary Protected Status is ended by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If withdrawal of Temporary Protected Status happens, the individual faces exclusion or deportation procedures. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it provided qualified undocumented youth “access to remedy for deportation, eco-friendly work licenses, and short-lived Social Security numbers”. [14]
Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, employment Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would provide moms and dads of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, protection from deportation and make them qualified for a Work Authorization Document. [15]
